MomCare

MomCare is sponsored by the Florida Department of Health and Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration. The program is implemented through Maternity Care Advisors (MCA) who contact clients to link them to prenatal care, WIC, Healthy Start as well as other community resources they may need.

If you are pregnant, you may qualify for this special health insurance program. To see if you are eligible, review the income guidelines below. You can apply for this program if your family meets these guidelines, even if you or other family members are working.

Once you are enrolled, the program will cover medical care and hospitalization during your pregnancy. It may also cover health care bills you received up to three months before your enrollment. There is no cost for this coverage. Your baby may also be eligible for free insurance after he or she is born.
